PLY Viewer
Inspect a triangle PLY mesh and its vertex colors. Open ASCII or binary files and choose the original units and up axis.

01 / HOW IT WORKS
Open, inspect, then use your result.
- 01
Open your file
Choose, drop or paste your PLY file. All three input methods use the same local checks.
- 02
Look from every angle
Orbit, zoom and switch between standard views. Read the dimensions and object count beside the model.
- 03
Check the essentials
Read the mesh object count and overall dimensions. Clear the file when you are done or open another model.
02 / TRY IT YOURSELF
A real file. A result you can check.
This original four-hole plate measures 80 × 50 × 8 mm. The sample uses the input format for this page. Use the default unit and axis settings to reproduce those dimensions.

03 / FORMAT & USE
PLY Viewer
Inspect a triangle PLY mesh and its vertex colors. Open ASCII or binary files and choose the original units and up axis. The size report uses millimeters; input unit and axis controls determine how the source file is interpreted.
What this viewer supports
Triangle meshes only. Point clouds, polygon faces and unsupported element layouts are rejected. ASCII and little- or big-endian binary inputs are supported. This tool does not reconstruct surfaces or repair meshes.
Supports files up to 32 MiB, 1 million triangles and 2,000 mesh objects. For larger assemblies, export only the parts you need.
04 / QUESTIONS
Know your input. Understand your output.
Can I convert a point cloud?
No. A point cloud has no faces. This version requires triangle faces and will not invent a surface by connecting unrelated points.
Do I need an account or credits?
No. These tools are free and run in your browser. No account, subscription or credits are required.
Is my model uploaded?
No. Your selected file is read and processed in this browser. The page downloads its CAD engine and public samples, but does not upload your model. Refreshing or leaving the page clears the current file from the tool.
How are units and orientation handled?
Dimensions use millimetres with Z up. GLB uses metres with Y up; exported STL is mm/Z-up and OBJ is mm/Y-up.
Can I paste a file from my computer?
Copy a file in your file manager, then paste here. Your browser must expose the clipboard as a file; a copied path or text will not open a model.
